About the role

The Work

You will create original, research-style computational statistics problems that require complex reasoning and cannot be solved manually in a reasonable amount of time. Your work will support AI training through problem creation, solution evaluation, and fine-tuning content.

You will use Python and standard scientific libraries to check your work, then clearly document each problem and its fully reproducible correct solution.

  • Design problems based on estimation, inference, simulation, and optimization.
  • Use NumPy, SciPy, Pandas, SymPy, and similar scientific Python libraries.
  • Validate solutions computationally and confirm that the results are correct.
  • Write clear problem statements and reproducible solution documentation.
  • Reflect real-world research and applied statistics workflows.

What It Pays And Takes

This is an intermediate, part-time contractor role open worldwide. The work requires strong computational statistics ability and the capacity to explain technical solutions clearly.

  • Pay: $15 to $60 per hour.
  • Time: 20 or more hours per week.
  • Work arrangement: Part-time contract.
  • Location: Open worldwide.
  • Education: A degree is required.
